Thanks to all the bands who participated on the Bring It Back To Life CD to benefit the Central Terminal. Special thanks to No Effect, Breakerbox, McCarthyizm, The Feast, and The Filter Kings for their great job performing last night at the CD Release Party. And a big thank you to Greg Wojda for putting…
Damn, Tina Fey is spot on! via BuffaloPundit
I didn’t get a chance to listen to Bauerle’s FUD today, but BuffaloPundit did. Tom Bauerle is badmouthing Buffalo Old Home Week and therefore badmouthing Buffalo and Western New York as a good place to live. Why? Because we suck and we’re an economic desert. The point, you mulleted prick, is that we’re accentuating the…
As a public service, I present to you the real Brierwood Plaza. I half expected that the preservationist in me would find some good qualities in the building as I got up close to it, but I found nothing. It’s not well built. It’s a lot of fascia over lumber. It’s has no unique aspects,…
Yes, it’s true. According to Autoblog… In the near future, Ford vehicles may fire back a retort if you get cheesed off enough to yell at the car. According to the details of a patent filing, Ford is working on an Emotive Advisory System (EAS) that simulates emotions when interacting with occupants, and may also…
I love cool water displays, like the fountains at the old Kahunaville. Someday I hope to grovel at the base of the Bellagio. So, naturally, I drooled a little when I saw this video clip about a specially designed waterfall that can scroll text and shapes. Alan’s probably going to get to see it in…
From all those photographs, the one that struck me (and probably not many others) the most is the one with the bicycles all lined up. The juxtaposition of very modern with the very communist-egalitarian is a hoot.

I never did find out if they were community property or individually owned, but I couldn’t imagine knowing how to tell mine from the others, had I owned one.
I guess you had to be there.

Hooters in China….. I like them more and more all the time.
Have seen many of your photos, but I don’t really remember alot of them not to say that they aren’t good but there are a few here that have really caught my eye — the black and white tree lined pathway is amazing. I also really enjoyed the sunset skyline shot and night lites shot. Very good shots Derek from what looks like an amazing place to visit.
